The last of the giant pumpkins arrives at the Garden today, just in time for our Giant Pumpkin Carving Weekend and Día de los Muertos celebration beginning this Saturday. If you’ve never seen Ray Villafane and his crew of expert sculptors turn these monstrous fruits into works of spooky art, it’s not to be missed!
This year’s record-breaking pumpkin from the North American crop, weighing in at 2,230 pounds, is right here at the Garden—come check it out!

Morning peeks into the hollows of the Rock Garden with a reticent sort of light. The collection’s currently on track to stay open until November 15 this season—longer if the weather behaves.

The Greenmarket is a hub of color, muted and bright. And always delicious—though that should go without saying. Join us there every Wednesday, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., through this November.
